Forums - Gaming - David Jaffe leaves Eat, Sleep, Play amid staff cuts

^^ I hate when I don't notice my horrible spelling (typing "care" where it should be "core") until someone quotes me.

1) The team was only 32/33 people? Wow... the new TM was probably really low budget.

2) I'm a little confused. The article says that Jaffe wants to make casual games, and that Eat,Sleep,Play is going to focus on iOS development. They're saying that Eat Sleep Play is wants to make care titles for iOS and that Jaffe wants no part in it? Hmmm...


10 replies and dgc is the first to mention this? How does any of that make sense? ESP wants to make iOS games, David Jaffe leaves...and the rumor is that he wants to make casual games? I dun get it.

He means he just wants to focus on games that focus on gameplay way more than story. Like twisted metal and not like God of War. I saw him say basically exactly this before.

I'd be so happy if he went back to Santa Monica :'D


If he does and the rumors are true...can you imagine a "GOD OF WAR DATING SIMULATION!?!?!"


i can, but it needs to be MOVE only!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Should have been in Mobile discussion section..

What does this mean for Twisted Metal?

Will it be supported with DLC. updates, etc... now or just left to rot?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Maybe he got picked up by Nintendo in their dev-stealing spree.

Santa Monica probably contributed a lot as per usual. I imagine they'll be the ones supporting the game post-launch.

I'm sure Sony has a studio ready for it.

Although I'm now worried about the multiplayer. I was in a game last night and two player were top two everytime, in every game having double digit kills and fewer than 3 deaths. One I'm not sure what he was doing, he was the motorcycler and had like 10 kills and 2 deaths, only taking like 400 damage the entire match.

The other was on top of the stadium sniping players. The problem with the snipers is that in order to dislodge them, one player needs to waste time chasing them down, which inevitably will result in that player losing a lot of scoring potential. In this scenario, snipers basically have free range over targets because it's suicide to try and stop them.

So, I'd like to see some fixes, already.



I don't even think Eat Sleep Play was around when Calling All Cars released. This article is horribly written. I knew they worked on Twisted Metal Head On PS2 Port. I also remember something about a 3 game deal with Sony. Of course I could be remembering things incorrectly.

That's what I thought too, but I think I could be getting it confused with LightBox Studios (or interactive) who are making Starhawk

They also have Jaffe links as they were Incognito, who also worked on Calling all Cars...

But the end result is probably fewer games for PlayStation, which is a bad thing, but hopefully the think about Jaffe wanting to make casual games isn't right and he will go somewhere to make some proper games, maybe even back to Santa Monica for their next game
